Infant formula firm NZ New Milk had its first brush with the ExportNZ awards in 2012 when it was a finalist in the emerging exporter category.

It had just a couple of staff and had not started to turn a regular profit.

Now, five years later, it is back as a finalist. But this time, it is in the category for exporters with revenue of more than $25 million a year.
